His dad was so overrated. Kidding! Moby Dick is so unreal...it took you on a journey.

I love them all, but love LZ II with Physical Graffiti nipping at its heels.

Gonna have to say Led Zeppelin IV. In my opinion, it is the greatest album (not just rock) that has ever been made.

Achilles Last Stand and Tea For One are 2 songs that I could listen to over and over.

Anyone ever ridden with him or seen him ride, he's been riding since he was young. He's got to be one of the better rock star riders next to V-Nilla.

You're using the term "rock star" pretty loosely don't you think? Vanilla Ice was rap right? Favorite Zeppelin album is IV.

Greatest led zep song is heartbreaker, but only when it is followed by living loving, and planet rock in England never play either one without the other and it's how it should be heard. But a very close second is the cover song travelling riverside blues from the BBC sessions album...

I'm a Kashmir kind of guy, especially some of the later versions when they played with some "strings". I like the blending of rock with classical instruments. For an album, it's a toss up between the soundtrack of The Song Remains The Same, because I love live music and Led Zep IV. So much win on that album. Rock hard and ride hard Jason B. Just be careful and remember which one pays the bills!

Jason is a family friend. He grew up racing my uncle. Sent this to us from A1.



He's a cool guy and because of knowing him I got to see Zeppelin in 07 at the 02 in London. I was sat right behind Emig and doc Wobble Cool

I used to work at ride mx in Stratford, he used to pop in every once in a while, was just like a regular guy who wanted to chat moto for half an hour or so, he signed a piece of paper for my mate Matt who is a massive Led Zep fan, was more than happy to do so too, never saw him ride but heard he has enough game to look after himself on the track....

The first time I met Jason was at the Seminole Tribe MX track in S Fla. I didn't realize who he was at first but my buddy and I walked up to him to check out his new KX (brand new model that had just been released that year). He was really cool and once he started telling us stories (English accent) of his dad taking him to see the MX GP's in Europe in the 70's my mind started putting the pieces together. As I walked back to my pit area I told my buddy who we had actually been taking to and he flipped out. Jason rode decent as I remember. RIDE ON !!!

Fast! He was a member of the factory Kawasaki team in the schoolboys when he was about 14.

Yes, 3 years or so, 1978 through 1981... although 'race' is a term i would use loosely, he was fast , always had good kit and was on the original 'Team Green' set up here in the UK, and while he was fast , he wasnt fast enough, and obviously with what happened, he wasnt going to be a pro... although to be fair i dont think that was ever the aim.

Got mates who knew him a lot better than i did , he pops up on one of our FB groups and posts .

My Bonham story- I raced one of those meetings with him back in the late 70s. Lost control of my rm 100 and somersaulted down the big hill. Lay at the bottom completely winded, and the marshal came to help. Smiley man with a big beard helped me up and got me going again when I felt ok. Jason's Dad Smile They used to go racing with a bike rack on the back of a rolls royce.
